wow ! Second solution is really a smart trick !

^ Yes it's nifty- that's what I did with this shot, but you can see the sofa through the people...whereas light painting method means I could have avoided the sofa and each area of the image is really only exposed once...both have their advantages. The blank photo method means you can shoot in daylight and do more traditional double exposures, of course!

how did you make a double exposure with a sx70 ?

^ Ah ha...two ways, 1. light painting method. Put sx-70 on a tripod, turn off all the lights, press the button and open the shutter and quickly, open the front of the camera. Then take a torch and paint your first exposure. Turn off the torch, get into the second position, with the front of the camera still open, paint with light again. When finished, close the front of the camera. Nothing will eject, so with the lights still off and maybe something in front of the lens to block all light, press the shutter again and wait for the picture to eject. 2. take an old reject integral picture, cut away the picture from the shot, leaving only the white border and front plastic window. Then go into the pitch black, and insert this "blank" see through photo back into the pack, put a dark slide over the top. Then when you reinsert the pack of film, the dark slide ejects, you take shot one, and then the blank photo ejects, and then you take shot two, and the double exposure ejects. This way is a bit less selective, so bodies appear more translucent as the whole image is exposed twice whereas the light painting method means you can pick and choose where to expose and makes a more realistic image. Both of which cause many many wasted shots and failed attempts, hence why I wasted so much test film!!
